Mr. Naud's Wild Ride

Anti-Walker candidate?
Or  hoping to glom onto recall fervor to get elected??
Today's Journal tells us that all 7 Madison School Board members and all challengers in the spring election signed the petitions to recall Governor Scott Walker.  We wondered how things are in Sun Prairie.

Only 2 Board Members Signed
Of the current Sun Prairies School Board, only John Whalen and Jill Camber Davidson could be found on the IVerifyTheRecall site.  Hmmm.  What exactly does that mean?  Not sure.  But them's the facts.  Madison is 7 for 7; Sun Prairie is 2 for 7.

Did Mr. Naud Just Say No to Signing the Recall Walker petition?
The enigma that is Gary Alan Naud continues to be...well...enigmatic.   Here's a guy who's loudly and publicly suctioned himself onto the Recall Walker peeps like a remora on a shark.  Funny thing is we couldn't find his name listed on the IVerifyThe Recall site.

Wouldn't it seem that someone so coattail clingy to the Recall Walker movement would have proudly signed a petition?  Or is this just someone who's hoping to ride the Recall Walker tide past his shoplifting charge (and other legal issues found on Wisconsin Circuit Court Access)?  Just how anti-Walker is Mr. Naud?

Mr. Naud has had a wild ride.  He withdrew from the race in late February after some alert citizens became aware of his shoplifting citation, which was reported by the STAR.  Or did he just "suspend" his campaign while deciding whether or not he could ride the Recall Walker movement to election?  He lost the primary for a City Council seat, and now apparently is back "in it to win it".  How will this wild ride end?
